  • JLab Logbooks: HDLOG
    • Note that there is a separate feed for each log book in the system. This link is just for the Hall D Log. There is an RSS link at the bottom of each log's summary page. Look for this symbol:Rss.gif

  • GlueX Wiki: Recent changes
  • MantisBT: Offline Problem Tracking Activity
  • Subversion repositories:

These are useful if you are only interested in a subset of the directories. See the "XML" buttons on the repository browser page for links to these subsidiary feeds.
